Keep faith in KEEP RUNNING (NAP) on his return to chasing at Sandown today. The Warren Greatrex-trained seven-year-old was a progressive novice last season, rattling off back-to-back wins at Ludlow and Ffos Las from the front under James Bowen.
He met his match in February when he was beaten ten lengths by Bad over a 2m4f trip that was beyond his limit and was way below his best when pulled up in a Listed contest at the Punchestown Festival. After a pipe-opener over hurdles last month, he should enjoy today’s return to fences over 2m for a trainer-jockey combination which has yielded 16 wins this term at a 33 per cent strike rate.

IN D’OR (2.55) can begin to justify his six-figure price tag on his debut for Fergal O’Brien.
The seven-year-old was a star for sporting amateur David Maxwell when trained by Venetia Williams.
Maxwell won three times on the gelding who ended last season carrying his rider to sixth place in the National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Put up for sale by the retiring Maxwell, the selection changed hands for £220,000 in October and can make his mark for new owner Jane May over the track and trip where he finished third in the Masters Handicap Chase in February.
